The Palmela appellation (DOC), located in the Setúbal region of Portugal, is a hidden gem for wine enthusiasts. Known for its robust red wines and aromatic whites, this region enjoys a Mediterranean climate with maritime influences that promote optimal grape ripening. The dominant grape varieties include Castelão, which produces red wines with black fruit and spice aromas, and Fernão Pires, known for its fresh and floral whites.

The varied soils, consisting of sand, clay, and limestone, add a unique complexity to the wines of Palmela. Local producers blend traditional and modern techniques to create high-quality wines, often awarded international prizes.
